Just had to edit my news history file.  Some kind dolt out at
somewhere.super.net.whatever decided to post an article with a horribly long
message-ID, and I used vi to edit a 110MB history file (well, it was "cheap"
and I didn't want to go fix it nicely).

78 cpu minutes to do it..
history: 1781538 lines, 110919568 characters.

let's put it this way:  the old vi never would have handled it.  :-)
